"Legs and Lungs" by Henri Green
CD
I love a man who lives kind of far away
FC
And his circumstances are unhelpful at best
CD
All the same, I've a fair few things to say
FC
And if I might, I'd like to get them off my chest
FC
Maybe I'm just being foolish or my brain's moving too fast
FAmG
Perhaps I'm being just plain stupid to ever think that we might last
FEAm
But I cannot ignore what's in my heart and in my mind
FG
So stop, just hear me out if you would only be so kind
CD
Maybe I could learn to drive, or you could learn to fly,
FC
Or we could live together and just boycott the outside
CD
We'll just live off the land and make our own rules to abide
FC
No need for any money as we stay in bed and hide
FC
And you'll tell me your stories about living life as you
FAmG
Your dreams and observations and how your favorite color's blue
FEAm
And I'll lie there in awe of awesome you and lucky me
FG
'Cause I had no idea just how great living life could be
C
Till there was you with your smile and your face and your wisdom
D
You with your knowledge of my satellite system
FC
You, and how you take the world in your stride
C
You with your heart and your legs and your lungs
D
On limited wit and limited tongues
FC
Your life, and how it has impacted on mine
FC
Because I always found it hard to let just anybody in
FAmG
This outcast sociophobic who always hates at her own skin
FEAm
But then you came along and taught me beauty is within
FG
And to thank you oh my love where do I begin?
C
Because you with your smile and your face and your wisdom
D
You with your knowledge of my satellite system
FC
You, and how you take the world in your stride
C
You with your heart and your legs and your lungs
D
On limited wit and limited tongues
FC
Your life, and how it has impacted on mine
C
From the tips of your toes to the top of your head
D
There's nobody else I would rather love instead
FG
And I love you, need you, would happily be your wife
Am
One day
FG
If that's okay for me to say at this point
CD
So if I learn to drive, there'll be no need for you to fly
FC
And we can live together and start our own little life
CD
We'll take days as they come there'd be no need to run and hide
FG
I know I've nothing to fear as long as I've you by my side
C
Because you with your smile and your face and your wisdom
D
You with your knowledge of my satellite system
FC
You, and how you take the world in your stride
C
You with your heart and your legs and your lungs
D
On limited wit and limited tongues
FC
Oh, you have no idea how you've change my life
